RESULT OF THE CONVENTION
FRIDAY EVE. IS GRATIFYING.
One of the Cleanest and Strongest
Tickets Ever Placed Before
Our Citizens.
'Alderman Davy called the convention to order and A. J. Doherty was
made chairman, Murney Bell, secretary, when the convention proceeded as
is usual. The city ticket was placed
in nomination on the first ballot aud
every one present went away feeling
perfectly satisfied with the result, aud
this is a point in favor of ticket being
elected to a man, which is our prediction at this time. Following is the
ticket:
Mayor,—J. W. Calkins,
Clerk,—Mell Buell.
Treasurer,-—Albert Thurston.
School Inspector,—E. G, Welch.
ITCHST WARD.
Supervisor,—Charles Buell.
Alderman,—A. C. Gordanief.
Constable,—Joseph Adams.
siscoifDWARD..
Supervisor,—T. S. Dorsey.
Alderman,—0. H. VanBrunt.
Constable,—Peter Dowd.
THIRD WARD.
Supervisor,—J. R, Goodman,
Alderman,—Vv\ T. Davies.
Constable,—A. M. Davy.
j. W. Calkins, whd-heads the ticket,
is one of the most popular hotel men
In the state, add having made Clare
his home for many years, and being
one of the largest property owners in
the city, these qualifications, together
with the record he has made as a citizen among us, assures us that when the
votes are counted on the evening of the
second of April, he will have received
the majority vote and will be declared
the head of the city organization for
the ensuing year.
Mell Buell is in charge of the clothing department of Davy & Co's store
and has been in the employ of the company for three years,his close attention
to business and the interest he takes in
the welfare of the establishment have
gained for him the entire confidence, of
his employers, and we feel sure that if
elected to the responsible position of
clerk of the city he will show the same
Interest in her welfare.
Albert Thurston stands before the
people of Olare as a man who thru-
out his entire residence here has conducted himself in a manner which
elicits the respect and admiration of
all, and such are the people who are re-;
membered when the ballot is in hand.
We feel sure that Mr. Thurston will
run a Considerable ahead of his ticket.
The election of School Inspector is
nut a matter of form as the laws which
have been passed' from time to time
have stripped tbe office of most of its
dtties, and this being the case the six
years' experieneein teaching which the
nominee has had, will fit him for the
place.
By glancing over the ward tickets
above you will see that better men
could not have been nominated'" The
outlooki» goofi for the election of the
entire ticket, and if such is done'we are*''-'
assured that the affairs o f the city wil^''.'
be well looked after tbe coming year.'" *'
